     Dear Star Trek Editor:

     This letter is one of many that you will be receiving within the
     next 6 months from potential "Acting" Agents/Fans like myself who
     wish to urge you to publish Michael Rossi's novel "Before
     Destruction!".  Please retain this letter and add to the others as
     they are sent to you for future reference.

     As a potential "Acting" Agent/Trek Fan, I (the undersigned) was allowed
     to read the first 19 chapters of the novel with the intent that should
     I like it, I would represent him in this manner. As a potential "Acting"
     Agent/Fan, I request that you re-consider your decision about it's
     publication.

     I (the undersigned) respectfully disagree with your appraisal that
     "the writing is not quite strong enough for Trek".  I am of the
     opinion (demonstrated by my submittal and signature of this letter)
     that this is a quality work, and wish to see it in printed form from
     Pocket Books and with Paramount Pictures' blessing.

     Having not been allowed, (by the author), to read the last 7 chapters
     of "Before Destruction!", I eagerly await it's publication and wish
     to express my intention of purchasing a published copy if it becomes
     available to the public.

     Please contact Michael Rossi personally if I have been successful in
     representing both his and my own interests to you and should you
     reconsider his work.  You can reach him at the following address:

     813 W. Pike St.
     Crawfordsville, IN 47933

     Thank you for your time and patience during this rather unorthodox
     approach to "proposal submission".

     Sincerely,

     Signature:__________________________________
